Introduction to Remote Sensing by James B Campbell

Introduction to Remote Sensing by James B Campbell

*The new edition of a leading text, fully revised to reflect a host of technological changes in the field. *Includes cutting-edge material on the transition to digital aerial photography and change detection in multitemporal analysis. *Modular structure allows instructors to match assignments to their own course plans with ease.

- The text provides comprehensive coverage of principal topics and serves as a framework for organizing the vast amount of remote sensing information available on the web. Featuring case studies and review questions, the book's 21 chapters are carefully designed as independent units that instructors can select from as needed for their courses. --Lunar and Planetary Information Bulletin, 12/3/2011ƒƒAn outstanding guide to the student as well as the experienced user of remotely sensed data. The book provides a clear overview and context for further study. The transition from analog to digital is explained extremely well without leaving out the fundamentals required to have a complete understanding. New topics including object-based image analysis are included. This book is an excellent text for an introductory remote sensing course. It is also an appropriate addition to anyone's library who is trying hard to keep up with all the changes in the remote sensing technology. This book has a valued place on my bookshelf.--Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing, 6/1/2012
